Most Ridiculous Sample: Flo Rida Edition

This one should start some discussions.  I was adding Flo Rida’s new LP R.O.O.T.S. to our RapCredits site (which has turned into a great source for samples) when I noticed that track number 12, “Sugar”, samples and interpolates the song “I’m Blue (Da Ba Dee)” from the Italian electronic dance trio Eifel 65 which contains one of the most stupid hooks in pop music.

I really can’t comprehend the thoughts of DJ Montay who is responsible for the beat, but build your own opinion and listen to both tracks below.

  • http://www.stereozeitgeist.com Frozen Atlantic

    Dag. That is…some unfortunate shit.

  • flip

    i think most of the blame should go to Rida for actually picking this beat and rap about it. shameful!!

  • Marcha

    fucked up my day :(

  • hellyeah

    today hip hop/rap music reached a new low………..this is one of the worst songs ever….why would anyone sample it??? all that euro crap has to stop ASAP

  • f.scat.fitzgerald

    Probably be a number one, worldwide hit, while we sit here grinding our teeth….

  • http://hiphopmarvels.blogspot.com TS

    I’m Blue was such a great song when it came out. I remember hearing it on the radio like 24/7. The music video was kinda weird though.

  • MuK

    Aaaa, why you are talking like this. “I’m Blue” is very good song :D When I was young I was listening to it, it was very cool :D And the video is nice :D
    But I don’t like Flo Rida’s song. Actually I don’t like most of Flo Rida’s songs….

  • MidWizz

    I think that people like Flo Rida do nothing good for hip-hop

    my god

  • Bmk

    yoooooooo. but why? why?why?why? whyyyyy? holy fckk how horrible… -.-

  • http://kevinnottingham.com Thomas

    I’ve never checked for Flo Rida’s music and this won’t make me start!

  • Lil Ish

    flo-rida is not rapper is a pop artist. for a rapper he is terrible. for a pop artist, he is alright.
    i wouldn’t mind dancing to this in partys or something but the lyrics are wack as usual.
    i am most angry at Dj Montay for making this beat cuz i know he could do better.

  • Tommylux

    Well… whack rappers will rap over whack beats that sample whack things… just callin a spade a spade. Mind you, I’ve heard some great producers make terrific beats outta the most obscure and horrible original sample, so you might as well blame the producer for this one

  • One Mic

    OMFG! I’m speechless, it’s that bad! I wish I could just erase my memory a la Men in Black!

  • http://www.myspace.com/psymunsays Psymun

    hey i heard this shit somewhere the other day and couldn’t believe how ridiculous it was. but good thing it’s flo rida and not nas or something haha you know what i’m sayin?

  • JarrJohnson

    The track speaks for itself.

  • http://www.myspace.com/loudsworth D. Dee

    My God, FLO Rida Is Cheezy as Hell..

    Worst. Crap. EVER.

    Period.

  • http://boneheadzoo.blogspot.com JJS1

    I Cant Tell If Its Like Some Really Bad Joke Or The Real Thing, THE WORTS SAMPLE EVER…

  • DeejayHarris

    Tried to jump on the success of an old skool joint and epically FAILED, can’t stand FloRidas monotonous flow anyway…

  • http://www.myspace.com/cenzobeatz08 Cenzo

    hate it or love it. this will be a hit. at least in europe.

    but i think this eurodance sampling has to stop.
    flo rida sucks anyway. only little kids will buy this shit, so why are you havin strong feelings about him?!

  • http://www.myspace.com/dividedsoulsproductions Chris

    It’s Flo-Rida, people, not Jay, Nas or Em. He makes party records!!! I may not be bump this at the crib or car, but I think Hip Hop needs to get some of the party element back. I think that people forget that “Planet Rock” was electro-drums (808s) and European artist (Kraftwerk) samples. HAHAHA Sorry, purists, I knew you wouldn’t like that. We are too critical on our own craft sometimes.

  • GeeTee

    Lmao at comment #15…u ain’t lying. This is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. This is not Hip-Hop Chris, u can make a party track like 50 Cent In Da Club or Snoop Dogg Drop it Like it’s Hot, but this shit sucks!!

  • http://kevinnottingham.com Thomas

    I agree Chris that all types of rap music is necessary. I’m pretty sure I would shake my shoulders….lol in the club if I went to clubs to this song. But I don’t….so I don’t want to listen to this in my car or on my tv. This will be a hit……it has it written all over it, but comparing this to “Planet Rock”…nah.

    This is not “Planet Rock” or Jay’s “Sunshine”/”It’s Alright” or MC Lytes “Cha Cha Cha”. They all used Kraftwork samples.

    That’s like comparing “Stanky Legg” to “Deep Cover”.

    I’m not hatin’…..there is a place in music for Flo Rida’s song….it is hip hop, but I just don’t like it….or his music.

  • Random Guy

    I used to listen to this when i was 11 or 12 years old, during my secondary school days LOL!

  • Victor

    LOL that song was big when i was a kid, but truly horrible stuff. Makes sampling a joke as a craft when its such a horrible song in the first place, it didnt help that whoever thought it was a bright idea to produce it barely changed it up. Despicable stuff.

  • http://www.dahouseofbeats.com JizzleBeatz aka Fie Traxx

    Flo-Rida ain’t stupid though. He has been making some questionable moves with his songs but he is probably stacking so much paper from this stuff right now.

  • RAP SUCKS

    Flo Rida sucks and his music sucks even worse. Writing a song about a blow job – and song that 10 year olds are singing because parents are too stupid to filter music. Hip Hop was fun, some RAP music is great – but these assholes that put out stupid, low class, retarded RAP songs that talk about sex, guns, violence – all they do is damage kids.

    What dogshit stuff.

  • http://www.lolwut.org Slozy

    I can’t believe he ruined that song with his ‘ hip new fresh ‘ version. That was a good 80′s song, and now look at it. He turned it into a blowjob song, and a bunch of kids are listening to it now…. -.- Very disappointing.

    Makes smoke blow out my ears.

  • http://www.myspace.com/mitch_is_da_bomb MItchell

    Rap and hip-hop is so unoriginal. This is a waste of my time. I don’t imagine he payed anything to use that song either.

  • Blah

    Ugh >_>
    I know that people only like “Sugar” because of the I’m blue catchy-ness.

  • http://myspace.com/irocklikethat gabz

    So great. BLUE DABA DI was a GREAT SONG!!!!

    Gabz from fattykoo

  • Burkey

    “Right Round” is another cheesy sample from “You Spin Me Right Around” by Dead or Alive, this man has no shame…………..

  • Jeje

    I think the song is great and verry addictive, cut the Crap.

  • ALI

    Cum on ppl its not tht bad its not a bad track compared 2 what normally flo rida comes out with??

  • chrisfromgermany

    No, Flo Rida didn`t use the worst sample, Rihanna did. Usually, I`m a big fan of her, but in one track called “Live your life”, she and T.I. performed over a sample from “Dragostea din tei” from the eastern european pop group O-Zone, covererd by Haiducii.

  • http://kevinnottingham.com Kevin
  • JR

    right round is worse, he ripped off the lyrics from you spin me right round like a record from dead or alive and the result for this is you get a song from flo rida that sounds FUCKING HORRIBLE!!!!!!

  • http://www.computinghelp.info Bob

    Flo Rida is a not talent clown, his target audience is stupid impressionable kids who thing his music is rap.

  • Thecarrat33

    pitbull does proper samples better than this dumbfuck, go pitbull!
